Joseph,

           A quick progress report on my testing. So far I have burned 6 
DVD's and 11 CD's without
           any more GPF's and the machine has been rock solid since I 
changed the BIOS setting.
           I suspect that the problem has resolved itself with the BIOS 
setting change but will continue
           to beat on it to see if I can get the problem to occur again 
with the "ASUS Normal" BIOS
           settings. I noticed that there is a new kernel update in the 
update queue for tonight
           (3.13.0.21-43) and I will be updating all 7 build/testing 
machines tonight and will send more
           progress info as warranted. If no more GPF's occur before 
Friday Apr 4th I think we will
           be safe to close the bug report and blame the issue on 
aggressive BIOS settings. I will keep
           machines on the normal timings instead of "ASUS Optimal" for 
the duration of my testing
           until 14.04 releases.

Thanks again,
B.Bogert

Title:
  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was burning a CD using Brasero when the Unity desktop died and I
  ended up back at the lightdm login prompt. This was the first problem
  of this kind since running Trusty and occured since the latest update
  on 3/29/2014. The system had been completely stable up to this point.
  Brasero was in the process of verifying the checksum when the problem
  occured. Brasero version is 3.10.0, kernel version is
  3.13.0-20-generic. This is an ASUS Sabertooth motherboard with 4Ghz
  AMD 8 core and 16Gb of memory.  This is my daily use computer and was
  up for several days before the GPF occured. I am using the updates ATI
  proprietary driver from the Ubuntu repository.

  Let me know if I can provide any more information for you .

  Thanks,
  B.Bogert
